Chapter 1: Transfer

Jerry awoke with a cold sweat, looking around to see an unfamiliar scenery, smell, and feel. For one, he’s not on a bed anymore but was instead greeted with a cold, hard floor. It also smelled bad. A mix of incense, a bit smoky, and a bit like coins in milk.

Jerry looked around to find that he was on a stone floor. Something very different as he had wooden floors, and no one used stone as floors. He looked around some more to find he was in some satanic circle. He looked up to find multiple men dressed in dark robes with one holding a knife.

“What the fuck!” Jerry said as a natural reaction. As he shot straight up.

“Relax” The man with the knife said.

“You’re fine” Said a robed man

“In fact, we’d like to say, welcome!” Another robed man said

Jerry looked around a bit panicked but calmed down a bit. He was still alert, however.

‘Okay, let’s think a bit. What the fuck is happening, how am I here, why am I here, and why is he holding a knife’ Jerry thought.

“Care to explain what’s happening?” Jerry asked

“Ahh, yes. We’ve summoned you.” The man with the knife said

“Look man, I’m not interested in being a human sacrifice.” Jerry said.

“What makes you think you’re gonna be a human sacrifice?” The man asked as he looked around.

“Oh” The robed man said.

“Rest assured, you’re not gonna be a human sacrifice” The robed man said.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

“Is it done yet, Likro?” A feminine voice asked

“Yes, Your Highness” The robed man with the knife said.

The door was soon opened and came in a girl with long pink haired, short, flat-chested, and very cheerful.

“Welcome, Hero!” She said

“Hero?” Jerry asked confused

“That’s right! Hero!” She said with a large smile.

“Hero.” Jerry said

“Yes. Heeeee rooooooo” She said, soon pouting.

“Right. Who’s the little girl?” Jerry asked.

The girl’s face quickly turned furious.

“Little girl?” She asked.

“Your Highness, P-Please calm down” The robed man with the knife said.

“You’re right. He must not come from a world that has a monarch” She said as her face lightens up.

“No, I do” Jerry said.

The girl’s face quickly darkened.

“Then why don’t you know what to call me!” She screamed.

“Cause monarchy fell out of favor hundreds of years ago and mostly, I don’t care” Jerry said

“I-I see.” She said while trying to regain her composure.

“A-Anyway, welcome to the Royal Palace. We hope you serve us well.” The girl said.

“Serve?” Jerry asked.

“That’s right. You’ll be serving us! Got a problem with that?” She said. Almost screaming.

The robed man with the knife stepped in.

“Ehh, We summoned you here to defeat the Demon Lord that has been ravaging the Empire’s land for decades now. When the mission is completed, you will be awarded many rewards and may marry the princess here” The robed man with the knife said

“Uhh, I’ll take more rewards, and less marrying,” Jerry said

“Is there something wrong with me?” She asked. Looking at Jerry confused.

“No, it’s just a crime from where I come from to marry a child.”

The robed man with the knife just sighed and before the girl could open her mouth, the door busted open. A man entered the room seeming panicked

“Good news, Your Highness!” The man said.

“What is it?” She said

“We just received word that the King has sworn in the Hero!” Immediately, everyone in the room started to whisper to each other. The man said as he looked up. His face immediately darkened as his eyes laid upon Jerry, who was still in his sleepwear.

“I-Impossible! He’s right here!” She said.

The man stayed silent.

“Likro, fetch us and the Hero a carriage. We set out soon” She said

“As you wish, Your Highness” The robed man with the knife said.

“You, follow me. We need to get you dressed. You can’t show up to the Royal Palace like… that” She said as she looked at Jerry.
